You see, there are 2 trillion galaxies out there in the Universe. And within them, there are billions upon billions – well, trillions upon trillions – of stars. The Universe is a strange place, and the view is about to get spectacular. So buckle up. We are traveling from Mercury to the edge of the known Universe, to witness the most beautiful, and deadly, alien sunsets you’ve ever seen.

    Glory be to Allah. He creates whatever He wills. To Him belongs whatever is in the heavens and whatever is on the earth.

    The way you explain Rayleigh scattering and the mirror effect of dust on the Red Planet really brings physics to life like never before! 🧪🚀 Especially the sunset simulations on planets orbiting black holes like Ton 618 or Holmberg 15A—they were absolutely breathtaking and epic, like watching a top-tier sci-fi masterpiece! 🔥🎬 Huge thanks to the team for the incredible production value and high-quality content. I hope to see a video on 'Life on Rogue Planets' soon. Keep blowing our minds, What If! 🚀💯👑

    If you want more videos like this, there's another cool channel on YouTube called "Stargaze" that has lots of simulation videos, where you can observe a sunset on a planet whose galaxy is about to merge with another one, a star cluster where there's lots of stars clumped together in one section of the sky, and also ones orbiting blackholes. They also have some interesting ones where they simulate falling into planets, stars, and even a blackhole.

    One of my favorite/depressing what-if videos from there is when Earth's orbit is destabilized and gets kicked out of the Sun's orbit from a passing red dwarf star, gradually freezing and becoming a dark rogue planet wandering through space.

    8:34 so if it's a core soo like on the episode on Futurama they landed on a planet and fell through so that's would happen you'd just fall to the core and sizzle or die from the gasses

    I don't care what people say Pluto is a planet. It has its own orbit around the sun, has moons, and has an atomsphere. If the sole reasoning for Pluto not being a planet is cause its shape then Earth needs to stop being classified as a planet.
